The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 186
The Table of Destruction (12)
As I jumped down from Tweety’s back, the flying machine reacted immediately.
Flash!
The gaze of huge, bloodshot eyes turned towards me.
-Keeeeeek!
-Kkaaak!
Dozens of monsters heading towards the shore changed direction and came towards me.
Chorus!
The black slurry that had been boiling on the surface of the strange aircraft rose up like a waterfall and tried to cover me.
“···It’s terrible.”
Seeing the thousands of hands and feet moving dirty in the black filthy water, I frowned and crossed my two swords.
“The Fourth Form of the Divine Sword.”
And swung it.
“Prelude of Fire and Ice”
Dozens of winged creatures flying towards me,
A black cesspool with thousands of hands and feet hanging from it.
Every time you swing your sword, a continuous line of various colors is drawn across it.
The more you swing your sword with selflessness, the more you become more selfless.
Flash!
Blue and red flashes of light burst out incessantly.
Countless sparks and ice collide, beautifully decorating the black surface.
Countless monsters fall down, frozen or reduced to ash.
The black color of the sewage water and the hands and feet turn to dust and disappear.
A path that had been invisible and filled with blackness opened up.
What you see down the open road is still black.
Iron Buck!
I landed on the surface of the strange flying object covered in black slop and immediately stabbed the two swords filled with starlight into the ground.
Phew!
Then, black sputum gushed out like blood.
Fire, fire! Fire!
The starlight contained in the sword spread out into the black mud like an electric current flowing through water.
Kookookookook.
Choaaah!
The monster plane begins to shake as if an earthquake has occurred, and the black slurry evaporates in the starlight, making an eerie sound.
“Kuaaah!”
“Keeeeeek!”
“Kkiyaaah!”
Suddenly, hundreds of monsters appeared, rushing at me from all directions.
“Hmm, let’s see.”
Whatever. I walked forward, looking around to see if there was a passageway that would allow me to get inside.
Choaaak!
I lightly swing my sword at the monsters that come close to me.
Every time that happened, the hideous beings’ bodies would split and fall to the ground in pieces.
There was no need to use the Divine Sword on these guys. They may have been high-level mobs in the game, but to me now, they were just trash mobs.
“Should I go in there?”
As I was walking, I discovered a hole that looked like a rabbit hole on the other side.
As I headed towards it, I didn’t stop swinging my sword.
Choaaak!
Every time I swing my sword, about a dozen monsters are split and cut down.
After swinging it a few times, I could feel the number of monsters that had seemed to number in the hundreds being reduced significantly.
In addition to that.
“Ugh, ugh···.”
“Kki, kkiing···.”
Several ugly entities were seen backing away or slurping their excrement, perhaps out of fear despite being monsters.
“You poor, disloyal guys.”
After looking at the sight for a moment, I felt a little pity and decided to show mercy.
“Don’t waste oxygen and just go to sleep.”
Choaaak!
After giving them a quick rest, I soon arrived in front of a hole that seemed to be the entrance to the interior.
“···.”
I was about to go straight in, but I stopped for a moment and looked down.
The coast was in sight, where fierce fighting was still raging.
As we look through the telescope, the blurry coastal scenery begins to become clear.
“···It was real.”
I couldn’t help but frown as I saw the Seven Sins mixed in and confronting several characters.
I had expected that sin would appear in this battle. I had already heard from the Master.
The Master said that since the evil spirit has appeared, the seven sins may be born again, just as they did in the past.
Is that all? Also, I was fully aware of it.
If the newly born sins were to show up in this battle, their fighting power would inevitably be much weaker than that of the previous sins that had been accumulating magic for a long time.
So I was thoroughly prepared for the appearance of sins. To be honest, it was the Master who prepared most of it, not me.
Anyway, I was ready.
First, the Master fed some people a potion I didn’t know about. I don’t know where it came from, but it was a potion whose efficacy was truly certain.
An aura similar to starlight. Those who drank the potion were imbued with such an aura, and surprisingly, the Master said this. The swords and magic of those who drank the potion would now be able to reach the wicked.
I asked where it was better, but the teacher only answered that it was something that a guy like Mojiri had prepared for his students in the past, and did not go into detail.
In addition, the Master taught and advised some people.
The characters included the game’s main characters, such as Sage, Rose, Daisy, and Fran, as well as other big names, such as Blacksmith, Professor Dian, Darren, and Captain Michelan.
Two days ago, the Master said with confidence that no matter how much magic the sinners were reborn with, they would never fall to them.
Maybe that’s why I don’t think that those below me, especially the precious people I’m connected to, will suffer from sin because they lack the ability.
Of course, it felt strange to see the guys I had worked so hard to deal with come back to life and walk around.
That was all. I just had to do well. If I could destroy and destroy whatever was at the center of that inner space, this situation would be over. That was all I could think.
Until I saw the face of sin itself as it confronted Rose.
“···Malik.”
Half of Malik’s face was a skeleton, and the other half was a human figure. That human figure must have been Malik’s face a long time ago, when he was happier.
As I watched Malik confront his first disciple with his sword in hand, with a bitter and sad expression on his face, I felt an indescribable emotion welling up in me.
My teeth are chattering. I feel like this is just too much.
It’s been a whole 1,000 years. That’s how long that person, who usually played the role of a mean and unlucky person, has been living alone.
After hearing Malik’s story, I treated him like my older brother, without any pretense. I deliberately made jokes, teased him, and even hit him on the back of the head playfully.
It was a kind of consideration. I wanted Malik to make up for the time he had lost by communicating and interacting with me and others as a person.
It was like that, it definitely was like that.
Malik, who has been bound by a contract for 1,000 years and cannot die, has now become a sinner.
I just started hanging out with people again,
I am someone who is just beginning to feel the value of being together again.
It was just at the point where a plausible future was beginning to appear.
That damned evil b*stard gave Malik such a cruel and horrible fate.
“···Fuck.”
The swearing comes out reflexively. My chest feels suffocated as if it is being squeezed. My teeth grind and my fists clench as if they will burst, shaking violently.
I also see Rose looking visibly flustered and at a loss at my sight.
I wasn’t worried about anyone else and just believed, but I was worried about Rose who was acting like that.
In my opinion, Malik is by far the strongest of the sins under there. Because Malik was one of the few past heroes who learned the Shingeom style.
Mort, who is next to me, also uses the Shingeomryu, but he only superficially imitates the memories embedded in Mort’s body, and does not have a deep understanding of it like Malik.
Of course, Rose must have learned a lot from Daphne, but honestly, it was questionable whether she would be able to defeat Malik.
And what worried me the most was whether Rose would be able to properly swing her sword at Malik, with whom she had formed a bond as a priest.
“···.”
I was lost in thought for a moment, then shook my head and turned away.
Because I realized one thing. The tragic truth is that there is nothing I can do for them right now.
Malik, who was hit by a damn fate, is now on the shore.
Rose, who encountered such a Malik, is also on the shore.
But I’m standing on a strange flying object high in the sky, not on the shore.
I can’t go down right now. Even if I go down right now, by the time I get to them, their own ending, whether tragic or hopeful, will have been decided.
So I had to do what I had to do.
“let’s go.”
I had to move forward. I had to get into the center of this fucking monster’s interior and destroy its core.
“pup.”
The Master said that if it was the evil spirit he remembered, there was a very high chance that it was watching us from this strange flying object.
I guess that’s what it was. The unpleasant feeling I felt from deep inside was a type of energy I’d never felt before.
“Please stay there.”
I started walking, wishing more earnestly than anyone else in the world that the one who had complicated my heart and the hearts of those I cherished was here.
